naptastic: no thin client should have write access to that

naptastic: so none of them should see each other's files.

vagrantc, how does ltsp keep them from having write access? Is / mounted read-only? Is the file set immutable?

@alkisg good morning alkisg
06:10
<alkisg>
Good morning srdjo_
06:10
<srdjo_>
just to let you know that the rc.local solution did not work
06:11
<alkisg>
That's strange, did you put cupsctl above exit 0?
06:11
<srdjo_>
yes I did
06:12
it shows on cat /etc/rc.local too
06:12
abowe exit 0
06:13
<alkisg>
I appears that cups is still not ready when rc.local is ran then... well, just wait until some developer is interested in your bug report
06:16
<srdjo_>
since I moved my production server to fat clients I need to find some workaround just for runing cupsctl even at user login - is there any way I can make script that runs as chroot root acount ?
06:17
<alkisg>
Try putting it in /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/ldm/rc.d/
06:17
<srdjo_>
right now users have to open system-config-printer every time they log in
06:17
wil it be run as root ?
06:17
<alkisg>
Yes scripts there run as root
06:19bauerski has joined IRC (bauerski!~witekb@frodo.psp.opole.pl)
06:27
<srdjo_>
I think I found a workaround
06:27
by copying cupsd.conf to my chroot
06:27
all sharing options are enabled at logon
06:28
I think that in case of FAT client normal cupsd.conf should be used insted of thin client one
06:29
because many setting are limited, and there is no need to limit anything on FAT client
06:29
<alkisg>
srdjo_: your server cupsd.conf were modified when you used the printers dialog to enable printer sharing
06:30
There's no difference between a "thin" cupsd.conf and a "fat" cupsd.conf
06:32
<srdjo_>
No, I copied cupsd.conf from /etc/cups/ from my ubuntu installation
06:32
<alkisg>
Yes, I understood that
06:32
<srdjo_>
the limitations i mentioned is disabled web panel from client cups
06:32
root was needed to make any change
06:32
<alkisg>
When you go to the printer settings dialog in your normal installation, you modify your cupsd.conf
06:33
But of course ltsp can't use that method, it can't tell the user to use the gui and then copy stuff
06:34
<srdjo_>
i understand - you mean the dafault cups file in /etc/cups is the same as the one in chroot at installation (before any GUI changes) ?
06:35
<alkisg>
Yes

alkisg, hi, we don't need them anymore
07:07
<alkisg>
Nice, ok so I only see references of them in RPM/, I'll delete them and if they want then can install local copies of them
07:07
<cyberorg>
everything in common/ can be removed from ltsp-init-common
07:07
<alkisg>
Cool, I'll delete a few hundend lines then :D

highvoltage: hi, is there an invisible box around the ubuntu logo and the username/password in ldm?
08:09
Sometimes after entering the password, the whole box seems to move to the left
08:09
So I can see a bit of the splash stripe twice, it's ugly
08:14
<srdjo>
@alkisg when I put the script in the /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/ldm/rc.d/ is it auto executed or do I have to register it ?
08:15
<alkisg>
It's autoexecuted

hi, forgive my ignorance, but so far I've only installed a "thin client" solution, now I've my first "fat" one and some problems show up... the first one is that clients don't see the printer of the server (of course). If I will flag it on the server as "shared", will I have to config it for each user?
09:24
(I've not the ltsp server here for experiment myself, and I've to go to school tomorrow to fix it)
09:27
<alkisg>
markit: no, just checking [x] publich local printers on the server is enough
09:27Steve_The_Pirate has joined IRC (Steve_The_Pirate!~Gary@ip-80-238-8-128.bskyb.com)
09:28
<markit>
alkisg: too good :) thanks (I've seen new epoptes released... I've to try it, I'm so much far behind your releases, sigh)
09:28
<alkisg>
I've yet to see any problems at all with the new epoptes version
09:29
<markit>
alkisg: btw, you urged to fix some stability problems last time I asked you about the feature that let's the teacher "deploy" a file to student's home
09:29
will it be implemented soon or is a feature not seen as needed?
09:29
<alkisg>
Ermmm I think you misunderstood what I said there
09:29
I said that the networking backend is not good enough for file transfers
09:30
It's single-channel only, used for commands and screenshots etc
09:30
So if you use that channel to transfer files, epoptes won't be able to issue commands or get screenshot thumbnails etc
09:30
<markit>
temporary during file transfer?
09:30
<alkisg>
Yes
09:31
<markit>
not a issue then
09:31
<alkisg>
But that will cause timeouts and other stuff to occur
09:31
<markit>
ah
09:31
<alkisg>
So it is an issue if the files are large
09:31
<markit>
probably text files or small pictures
09:31
<alkisg>
E.g. one might try to transfer 1 gb with that menu
09:31
<markit>
let's check file size and prevent it :)
09:31
<alkisg>
Now, in order to allow for parallel network transfers, the client would need to be rewritten in C
09:32
That' s indeed in our todo list, but not in a short todo list
09:32
<markit>
alkisg: let's go back in time... long time ago
09:32
<alkisg>
So I wouldn 't expect that feature to arrive before 14.04
09:32
<markit>
I told you that I've implemented a dir structure, with ACL, and teacher s hould put files want students to "read"
09:32
in a dir /srv/public/readonly (for instance)
09:32
<alkisg>
Yup
09:32
<markit>
you told me that with sch-script you took a different aproach
09:33
and you put file in student's home directly
09:33
I thought my aproach was much better
09:33
and as usual, I've to admit your was better then mine
09:33
at least with young pupils
09:33
(6-8 years)
09:33
but when I asked about having it in epoptes you raised that technical problems
09:34
<alkisg>
sch-scripts doesn't have a shared folders or send files implementation yet
09:34
It does have some code and ideas, but nothing published in the menus
09:34
<markit>
oh, so I misunderstood
09:34
<alkisg>
Also, sch-scripts assumes that ltsp is used
09:34
epoptes doesn't make that assumption, as it wants to work without ltsp too
09:34
So, what we currently do is to have a readonly shared folder in /home/teacher/Public,
09:35
and create symlinks for that in the pupil's desktop dirs
09:35
We've been doing that for years, it works for 90% of the cases
09:35
But indeed there are cases where sending files would be better
09:35
<markit>
ok, very good tip, if I only were able to do in kde...
09:35
<alkisg>
Sure, it should be very easy
09:35
Now, remember that you can issue a command with epoptes to the clients:
09:36
<markit>
I mean, I create the student's account, but KDE structure in home is not created until you login for the first time
09:36
<alkisg>
cp /home/teacher/file ~
09:36
So with that you can copy a file to many students at once
09:36
Of course it's not easy for teachers to enter that command
09:37
But once epoptes supports bookmarks, you can have some fixed locations where the teacher can put stuff, and a bookmark to transfer them
09:37
<markit>
Dophin has the "resource" panel, where you have i.e. Home, Root, etc very handy
09:37
I would love to have it include /serv/public
09:37
but is something I'm able to do "manually"
09:38
<alkisg>
Why not symlink the pupil's "$HOME/Public" dir to /srv/public ?
09:38
<markit>
maybe I've to hack the "kde account template" used during home kde config creation
09:38
good idea!

Could someone NOT using Debian/Ubuntu tell me if he has /usr/share/xsessions/*.desktop files in his desktop PC?
10:25
<ball>
I don't but then I'm not on Linux so that's probably not helpful.
10:25
<alkisg>
Hehe, I meant for OSes where the ltsp-server package can be installed :)
10:26
<ball>
Pretty sure that's not an option on BSD

Thinking of building an LTSP server around Xubuntu though, for a small office.
10:28
<alkisg>
That should be painless
10:28
<ball>
I need to take some of the network adaptors out of the server first though and probably put some more disk drives in there.
10:28
...and drive it down to the site.

alkisg, Fedora 16 - /usr/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop
10:45
<Briareos1>
Hyperbyte: hey Hyperbyte, you remember the issue regarding screen resolutions, we talked abt the other day?
10:45
<alkisg>
Thank you Hyperbyte, so it's reasonable to say that images that have desktop files in there do support local (fat) logins
10:45
<Hyperbyte>
Briareos1, vaguely.
10:46
<Briareos1>
Hyperbyte: <Hyperbyte> Briareos1, alright. My guess is that the videocard also has a TV output. --- <Hyperbyte> Since a TV output does not detect resolution, it only detects some default non-widescreen resolutions.
10:46
<Hyperbyte>
Briareos1, http://irclogs.ltsp.org/
10:46
Please just ask your question. :-)
10:47
IIRC, I asked you for some xrandr output and never got it.
10:48
<Briareos1>
Hyperbyte: that's why i am here today :) http://pastebin.com/yJCTRiuM
10:50
the monitor's recommended res would be 1920 x 1080 ...
10:50
<Hyperbyte>
Looks like it's just one output, with one screen. It's not detecting resolution correctly.
10:50
Just a hunch
10:50
Is the screen attached with a DVI->VGA adapter?
10:51
<Briareos1>
Hyperbyte: possible - need to check
10:51
<Hyperbyte>
If so, that's your problem.
10:51
DVI->VGA adapters are evil.
10:51
<alkisg>
Is the opposite possible? VGA card -> DVI monitor?
10:52
<Briareos1>
does it make a difference on which side DVI and VGA are?
10:52
<Hyperbyte>
alkisg, no, it's not.
10:52
<alkisg>
Darn :)
10:52
<ball>
alkisg: Yes, sort of
10:52
<Hyperbyte>
DVI has extra pins to allow analog input as well as digital. VGA only allows analog.
10:52
<ball>
Hyperbyte: Not all DVI has those
10:52
There's DVI-D (digital only)
10:52
DVI-I (digital and analogue)
10:52
and DVI-A (mostly theoretical, just analogue)
10:53
So you can go from a VGA port to a DVI-I input on a monitor, but it doesn't make much sense
10:53
<Hyperbyte>
ball, yes - and you can use a signal converter to go from VGA card to DVI monitor, but this isn't really what alkisg wants to know I think. ;-)
10:53
<ball>
...unless you find a monitor that somehow lacks VGA in)
10:53
Hyperbyte: I'm talking just cables.
10:53
No convertors required.
10:53
<alkisg>
Yeah Hyperbyte's right, I was just trying to connect my (VGA) laptop to my (DVI) LG monitor
10:54
And I had a DVI->VGA connector, and was wondering if it would make sense to remove the extra pins :D
10:54
<ball>
alkisg: Does the LG monitor have a VGA input?
10:54
<alkisg>
It does, but I'm connecting another device there
10:54
<Briareos1>
alkisg: i'd suppose it will work as long as you have DVI-I ... and the monitor supports vga
10:54
<ball>
alkisg: Is the input a DVI-I?
10:54
<alkisg>
How would I know?
10:54
<ball>
(does it have four holes around the cross-shaped slot?)
10:55
alkisg: Don't remove any pins)
10:55
<alkisg>
http://www.cnet.com.au/shared/images/products/dvi_input_200x150.gif
10:55
<ball>
I can't view that.
10:55
<alkisg>
That's my LG DVI input
10:55
<ball>
Just tell me.
10:55
<Hyperbyte>
It's DVI-D.
10:55
<alkisg>
Ah sorry, no, it doesn't have holes around it
10:55
<Hyperbyte>
Which brings me back to my original answer: it's not possible.
10:56
<ball>
Hyperbyte: Yeah, you can't connect VGA to that then.
10:56
<Hyperbyte>
Cue applause!
10:56
<alkisg>
Thank you all :D
10:56
<ball>
Hyperbyte: Right, but you could easily have been wrong.
10:56* Hyperbyte takes a bow
10:56
<ball>
Hyperbyte: Because you were ambiguous
10:56* alkisg applauses everyone involved :D
10:56* ball prepares the trout.
10:56* Hyperbyte rolls ball away
10:56
<ball>
In fairness, you weren't ambiguous, just perhaps missing some information.
10:57
<alkisg>
So Hyperbyte if I had this one, it would be possible? http://www.plus-america.com/images/pdetail/pd_dvi_detail.gif
10:57
<Hyperbyte>
alkisg, doesn't the screen have a HDMI input as well?
10:57
<alkisg>
It does, but I only have VGA outputs
10:57
<Briareos1>
Hyperbyte: is the same problem present if both sides are VGA?
10:57
<alkisg>
I want to connect a thin client and my laptop to the same monitor, and both only have VGA outputs
10:58
<Briareos1>
i mean in regards to the recognition of available resolutions
10:58
<Hyperbyte>
Briareos1, VGA/DVI adapters confuse Ubuntu.
10:58
VGA to VGA should work fine, as would DVI to DVI.
10:58
<ball>
alkisg: KVM switch?
10:58
<Hyperbyte>
Wouldn't hurt to exchange the VGA cable for a DVI one and see if that fixes the problem though.
10:59
<Briareos1>
sure
10:59
<Hyperbyte>
Else manually add the resolution with xrandr, see if you can get it going that way
10:59
Have a look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1033066
10:59
<alkisg>
ball, sure, but I think that's more expensive than my thin client :P
10:59
<ball>
alkisg: Shouldn't be, especially not for a 2-way
11:00
<alkisg>
Briareos1: you can override EDID detection by putting X_HORZSYNC and X_VERTREFRESH in lts.conf
11:00
ball: cheapest one I can find around me is at 22€... not worth the trouble, I only rarely want to test performance with my ancient 128mb ram thin client
11:01
bb in 20'
11:01* ball ponders
11:01
<Hyperbyte>
:P
11:01
<ball>
I may have to have a go at installing Xubuntu tomorrow, with LTSP
11:02
I need to start rolling out some more modern stuff than we're currently using.
11:02
<Hyperbyte>
Really?
11:02
What are you using now?
11:03
<ball>
NetBSD on the file server, MS Windows XP on the desktops
11:03
<Briareos1>
alkisg: why would i need to override EDID ? doesn't manually setting the modes suffice?
11:03
<ball>
(besides a Vista machine and a Windows 7 box)
11:03
<Hyperbyte>
ball, oh, I thought you meant hardware-wise.
11:04
<ball>
Hyperbyte: That too.
11:04
Server has two cores, 2G RAM
11:04
<Hyperbyte>
Briareos1, manually setting the modes = override EDID.
11:04
<ball>
Workstations mostly single-core with 1G
11:04
<Hyperbyte>
ball, thinking of thin or fat clients?
11:05
<Briareos1>
ah ok - so testing via the xrandr and if it works, putting it into lts.conf - I guess that's what you and alkisg meant ?
11:05
<ball>
Hyperbyte: I'd like to go thin, but may end up going with fat clients just to reduce the load. Even our "new" server only has two dual-core processors
11:05
<Hyperbyte>
Briareos1, yes sir.
11:05
<Briareos1>
ty :)
11:05
<ball>
I don't think I'll upgrade it to two quad-core
11:06
<Hyperbyte>
ball, how many clients?
11:06
<ball>
Hyperbyte: Probably start with four, upgrade to more later.
11:06
<Hyperbyte>
ball, how many is 'more'?
11:06
What's the maximum amount of clients you want on your server at one time?
11:12
<ball>
Hyperbyte: That'll depend on the server, but probably 8 until we get something more powerful
11:12
I'll need more RAM too
11:13
<Hyperbyte>
2 GB RAM should be okay for four clients, maybe even 8 if you're using XFCE and not too many applications
11:13
<ball>
the "new" server has 3G RAM
11:13
I may have more for it ...somewhere.
11:14
<Hyperbyte>
I don't know if you build your own servers, but an 8-core AMD FX isn't so expensive, nor is 16 GB ram.
11:14
<ball>
We bought the dual-core (tower) server new. The quad-core (rack mount) was donated.
11:15adrianorg__ has joined IRC (adrianorg__!~adrianorg@186.215.16.184)
11:16
<Hyperbyte>
Well, most important thing is gonna be RAM.
11:16
<ball>
I'd love to move to something with a couple of Xeon E3-1220s, but we have no budget for that.
11:17
<Hyperbyte>
Quad-core processor should suffice easily, but 2GB RAM can be low for 8 clients if everyone opens mail, browser, etc.
11:17
<ball>
I'll probably recycle the old desktops as diskless workstations and eventually replace them with dedicated terminals.
11:17
...as they fail.
11:17
<Hyperbyte>
You could remedy this by running several memory hogs (like a web browser) as a local application on the client, rather than on the server.
11:17
<ball>
...or as we can afford them.
11:18
<Hyperbyte>
If you put web browser and mail program on the local client, rather than on the server, you'll save a lot of RAM.
11:18
Because then the 1GB's in the clients get used for that.
11:19
Either that, or go fat-clients completely, and don't use CPU/RAM of the server.
11:20
<ball>
Does that introduce a lot of complexity in terms of mapping file space on the server to a local mountpoint on the diskless workstations
11:20
?
11:22
<Hyperbyte>
No, LTSP mounts /home/<user>/ from the server as /home/<user>/ on the client.
11:22
localapps is something LTSP supports out-of-the-box
11:22
!localapps
11:22

Hyperbyte: install-localapp: To install an application locally on the client, in the chroot environment, use this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/GuiInstallLocalApp For non-graphical installations, you can skip steps 1 and 2.

That's the correct one. That's what you have to do to set an application up to run locally on the client, rather than on the server.

ball, LTSP will work fine with your current hardware. You just have to watch memory usage on the server, if you want to use thin clients.

I'll wipe the server in morning then and try Xubuntu on it.

@alkisg I came to idea to make a separate cupsd.conf file for each client having local printers (since all settings are lost on shutdown and printer is reinstalled on every boot). Can you tell me where can I call a script to symlink clients cupsd.conf to for example /home/cups/client1/cupsd.conf and when shoudl it run ?

copying the cupsd.conf to chroot made the sharing problem go away, but I have a printer that needs to be set to print at A4 paper size or it wont print, and the changes are lost on reboot
12:21
is it possible to create a separate chroots for these two clients and hardcode the settings in cupsd.conf ? Can it be done ?

i have gnome-session (3.2.1-1 - debian wheezy) running on FAT CLIENTS but there is no lock screen button. How can I activate them?
13:44
<highvoltage>
wim_: what happens when you press ctrl+alt+L?
13:45
<alkisg>
zsceglow_: so the problem is that you specified an invalid dns server
13:45
zsceglow_: i.e. your ltsp server, where no dns server actually listens on port :53
13:45
While this is a configuration problem, still, epoptes-client should be smart enough to not timeout there
13:46
So we'll try to fix it in the next version. In the meantime I put DNS_SERVER=127.0.0.1 to avoid the invalid dns
13:46
So it now works for you, if you reboot the clients...
13:47

I've rebooted two clients
13:48

(03:43:10 μμ) wim_: i have gnome-session (3.2.1-1 - debian wheezy) running on FAT CLIENTS but there is no lock screen button. => lock screen is probably disabled by policykit because the users don't have a password
14:09
Their passwords are not transferred from the server, so if the screen was locked, they couldn't unlock it
14:09
It was this way previously in Ubuntu too, but it broke in 12.04 and now we have to disable it by a script... I don't know why it broke on policykit/ubuntu

14:23
LuizAngioletti: (well, nope as in, I don't work for Canonical)
14:23
LuizAngioletti: these themes go into Ubuntu
14:23
(for use with LTSP)
14:23
<LuizAngioletti>
So it is for the ltsp project itself
14:24
which they port somehow to their distribution...
14:24
<highvoltage>
well, it doesn't get included in LTSP upstream, it only gets included in Ubuntu
14:24
<LuizAngioletti>
*or **for** their distribution
14:24
Mind if I ask how that works?
14:25
Not the technicality, but the relationship
14:25
<wim_>
_alkisg: uses are authenticated over LDAP, so if I understand it correct, no lock screen possible for the moment
14:25
<highvoltage>
LuizAngioletti: ask away. I'm not sure which areas you'd like to know more about
14:26
<wim_>
_alkisg: or is there another way ...
14:26
<LuizAngioletti>
My curiosity revolves around why would you be building a template for Ubuntu when you don't work for them specifically, and I'm assuming you work for the LTSP project itself.
14:26
<highvoltage>
LuizAngioletti: in basic terms, LTSP and Ubuntu are two seperate projects, LTSP gets packaged for Ubuntu, and some derivatives of Ubuntu want their own themes. since those themes aren't useful to have in ltsp upstream, we just package it in ubuntu directly
14:27
<ogra_>
LuizAngioletti, why does that have to be distinct ?
14:27
<highvoltage>
LuizAngioletti: I'm involved in ubuntu and ltsp, and so are a few other people in this channel
14:27
<ogra_>
everyone uses LTSP in some distro
14:27[GuS] has left IRC ([GuS]!~MysT@unaffiliated/gus/x-663402, Ping timeout: 245 seconds)

so you usually even if you are working upstream on LTSP will also work on some distro you use it in
14:27

It's just I found it odd.
14:27

14:28
<ogra_>
(its butt ugly but at least doesnt use dbus or consolekit)
14:28
<wim_>
alkisg: txs, do you know if it is planned to get it working, because it can be a security issue
14:29
<alkisg>
ogra_: the localapps/fat username is copied in /etc/passwd, but its password is not stored in /etc/shadow, so the local users don't have a password
14:29
<ogra_>
alkisg, well, xscreensaver sdhould use pam
14:29
so if thats pointing to ldap that should work
14:29
<alkisg>
ogra_: local pam still doesn't know about the fat user password
14:29
<ogra_>
ah
14:29
<alkisg>
ldap is configured on the server
14:30
<wim_>
alkisg: sorry that's not clear to me what you mean
14:30
<alkisg>
wim_: the reason it's not working is because putting the password hash to /etc/passwd would be a security issue
14:30
So it was actually disabled for security reasons
14:30
<wim_>
ldap is configured on the server
14:30
<alkisg>
Personally I see it from your view

I want to implement that in the future in ldm

The other devs said it'd be ok as long as it's optional, and NOT default
14:31
<wim_>
alkisg: cool
14:31
<alkisg>
So we would put something like "STORE_PASSWD_HASHES=True" in lts.conf, and have working passwords
14:31
In the future another mechanism will be used (libpam_ssh) which won't have the problem at all

so is just a matter to run it inside Wincrap and next reboot I will have a grub with ipxe option, let's test (later) in a VM

16:45
<muppis>
Yes, but still ntldr menu, not grub. Grub is chainloaded after ntldr just to load ipxe.

yes

No, it just autodetects the server -desktop package and selects the same variant for the ldm theme

ok, tonight I will install it in a VM and test... hope to find you around :)
17:34

17:34
(for fat chroots, that is)
17:35
<markit>
ehm, how? :) has your changes been included in 12.04?
17:35
<alkisg>
Yup
17:35
You just install your OS normally in a VM, and that's a fat chroot
17:35
You can even copy your "server" installation before installing ltsp-server, that is
17:35
<markit>
so great! where the doc?
17:36

dd, rsync, whatever suits you

I've never understood properly the rsync stuff, someone says is not good for perfect clone (links problem or don't remember)
17:37
but raw is not NBD compressed image
17:37

rsync is fine
17:37

I'm confused... and I've to run shortly

can I beg for a wiki page about all this?

17:59
[mac:address]
17:59
USE_THAT_PRINTER=true
17:59

stgraber: is it necessary for something that doesn't change anything by default?
18:24
<stgraber>
highvoltage: depends what's in the package ;) I heard you mention lubuntu earlier so that's why I'm asking for paperwork ;)
18:24
<highvoltage>
stgraber: it's a lubuntu theme added ot the ldm-ubuntu-themes package
18:25
<stgraber>
ok, which makes the theme different for someone installing ltsp-server on lubuntu I guess? so that at least needs a UIFe
18:26
hmm, actually I'm failing to find the code doing that, we might have dropped it from trunk ;)
18:26
so if it's just an extra binary that's not installed by anything currently in the archive, just a FFe would be good
18:27
<highvoltage>
it will select the lubuntu theme when somone builds a lubuntu fat client though
18:27
<stgraber>
does it? I grepped through ltsp-trunk and couldn't find that bit of code
18:28
if it does, then we need a UIFe as it's changing the default UI for LTSP on Lubuntu
18:28
<alkisg>
ltsp-build-client/Ubuntu/030-artwork
18:28

11:58 < alkisg> highvoltage: good, I'll put it in the fat clients plugin
18:28
<alkisg>
(to be changed slightly)
18:28
<highvoltage>
ah, I guess alkisg is about to add it then
18:29
<alkisg>
So actually that would affect thin clients too
18:29
"for cdd in ed x k" would grow a "l" there
18:31

for the next cycle I should probably update the kubuntu and xubuntu ones too (they're ancient and not that great)

but you shouldn't get that on a fresh boot unless something is wrong.

anyways, gotta run!

so ldm monitors the image produced by ltsp-update-image and merges it somehow?

it doesn't merge it, it just reboots the thin client so it gets a new image.
